[Leaplist] LCD = Out of Range problem - Debian AMD64

[Whit Hansell]

hey guys,
Lookin' for an answer to a prob' I've run up against.  amonth ago or so 
on a Sat. AM, the power dropped and my mobo was dead when it came back 
on.  So went to ComppUSA and bought a new one, an Asus M3A78-CM and put 
an AMD Athlon X2 5200 2.7Ghz processor on it and 4 G RAM.  Onboard video 
and sound.

Anyway, It all comes up just fine and dandy, w. the latest Debian AMD5 
Lenny netinstall but found that when I try to do anything in terminal 
(F1-F6) I get a black screen and teh monitor sends out an "Out of Range" 
sgnal.  It's strange because when it boots up, I get terminal output up 
to the login screen which works just fine.  But then after login and KDE 
opens up, I can't get back to the termial.  It has even messed up my 
shutdown.  The other  day for grins, I did a reboot and it took a whie 
for the KDE to close and then go to terminal for the "shutdown" messages 
but then after KDE shutdown, the terminal screen was black and it just 
sat there w. the mouse pointer siltting there.  AFter a while, I just 
typed itn "shutdown -h now" thinking it would take over and just 
shutdown the system, but it didnt' and i fianally used the switch to 
turn off the machine.  Then when I turned it back on all the partitions 
had to be re"journald" which tells me the system got stuck somewhere but 
aI coudn not see where because the terminal was black.

I have googled "out of range" and amd64 but all I can really find is 
where people have had problems w. getting  past the splash screen or 
such.  That's not my problem.  I need to find out what conf file I need 
to tweak to set up the correct range (I'm assuming 60Hz) at a 1024 X 768 
resolution from the login screen and after.  At least that's my 
assumption.  The LCD is  a NIKO 2+0+R(been a good little monitor so far) 
with Hres 48.37, Vres 60.01, Pixel Clock 64.51 Mhz at 1024 X 768.  The 
onboard video is ATIRV610  Direct X10.0.  I have the resin KDE set at 
1024 X 768 at 60Hz.

If anyone has any ideas or experience at this I'd sure appreciate some 
input.  I'm googled out.
  i've not been able to find anyone who has had a similar problem, or at 
least who had gotten it figured out.

Thanks a bunch in advance.  I appreciate any help.

Whit
